You get what you pay for. A "cheap" warranty won't pay for much and you probably won't be happy. If you are concerned about repair costs, you may be better off to buy a newer car with a Saab CPO warranty or other good aftermarket warranty.
Bear in mind that at 67K miles some things likely to fail may have done so, which is good, but others maay be lurking. This is true on any car.
You want to see the service records on the car you're considering. Oil changes are critical!! Look for synthetic oil every 5K. See if the 60K maintenance was done. You may be due for tires, brakes, serp belt, fresh coolant and brake fluid, etc. Has the DI cassette been done?
If you don't get a warranty, set aside some bucks to fix things that will come up soon, as there are likely to be some. And BE SURE to work with a good indy Saab tech so you can get any work done at a more reasonable price than at the dealer.
